First glimpse of the sun on this beautiful day. 🌞
I love my plant filled dining room! I have about 10 in this room. Paul made with table out of Russian Olive and Iron Wood. The two-tone is so unique...I’ll have to take some better pictures of it one if these days.

Everything you do with/for/to your kids makes a difference so you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
❤️
We need to make sure that we’re being intentional about adding value to our kids’ lives and providing them with plenty of opportunities to grow into the amazing adults they were put here to be.

Great commission for a different take on a writing pad. We made two hard backed covers with exposed hand stitched signatures and bright details. Finished off with gold foil and brass pins. Using pins to bind the pages means that once it’s full you can easily replace the paper block and carry on using the cover with fresh paper. Cheers Andrew, we hope you love them!

An exquisite ending to a rich and sublime two weeks here in Karnataka during the Mysore Yoga Traditions Retreat - on this last day, the brilliant author, teacher and dancer Yamini Muthanna blessed us with traditional South Indian dances - one of her own composition, a portion shown here. Moving, awe-inspiring, exciting and poignant. She inhabited the essence of Bhakti, magically invoking Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, the Pancha Bhutas - and Devi Shakti. Jai Maa! ❤️ What a privilege this has been. Thanks to Andrew Eppler, Kanchen Mala, Gayathri Devi, et al, for organizing, hosting and deftly caring for all of the attendees, a lovely group of wonderful folks from 14 countries around the world. I feel very grateful for this blessing. ❤️🙏🏼🌺 #mysore#ashtanga#yoga#thinkoutsidethebox#mysoreyogatraditionsretreatandconference#mysoreyogatraditions

This was an answer to an attendee who has negative parents that are putting limitations for his dreams.
Teach your children to dream big, never put them in a box because the magic happens outside the box.
Teach them values so they will be able to make their decisions and choices based on values not limiting believes.

When everyone runs in circles I walk slowly but straight forward
Running in a race you don't know is like running in circles
Winning a race that's not yours is not winning
Living someone's else life and dreams is not living
Runners go no place but the start point
They pass by believing it's the end where infact it's the same place they started
That's why I chose to be a walker
Walking slowly but straight and forward
Not because everyone is, or it's the easy way
Because I chose to
There is no shame if leaft behind while everyone is fighting to be number one
The shame is what wrong you did to be number one
Ranking is a temporary label and I'm not a product to be ranked, priced or labeled
So…
Feel free to run pass me while I'm walking
Because I'm walking slowly but straight and forward
Feel free to be ranked and labeled
And I still wonder why everyone runs
Why run and live a temporary fake life
Why chose someones else dream
Why lie, pretend and get what dose not belongs to you
And then when you realize that you are running in circles you are the one who complaines
The answer is just so simple
don't run… Walk slowly but straight and forward
And remember, don't fake it
